Nam June Paik Art Center holds this year’s first special exhibition 《2015 Random Access》 from Jan. 29th to May 31st. It is expected to reaffirm the NJPAC’s mission to establish itself as a platform on which Nam June Paik’s experimental spirit and contemporary art meet and offer an opportunity to discuss the artistic form presented by artists of the new generation and its meanings.
